Spectacular field
Nice approach and take off, a bit scary as the terrain suddenly drops down to the river.
Nice scenery, one of the most beautiful airfields I visited so far. We stayed overnight in the village and made some nice walks.
Very nice village Traben!
Wonderful field
Nice field to visit, very friendly and helpful people

Will this take light aircraft ? such as a warrior 140 ?
Lovely!
I was so pleasantly surprised by this airport. It's bright and clean, and the staff are very nice. A solid modern airport with an easy to follow layout - I had a 50-minute international connection and it was more than enough time to pass passport control and security and make it to the gate.
Change of plan
Thought I'd take a look at the airport but now I think I should buy some gold.
Flying with ELUAS
Flew from RAF Brawdy with the East Lowlands University Air Squadron in 1976, flying RAF Bulldogs. Incredible fun. First experience of the "Goldfish Bowl Effect" when the blue of the sea and the blue of the sky merged. Didn't realise anything was wrong, (and that I was disorientated), until the controls went all sloppy on me. Recovered facing toward land. Learnt a lot that day.

the airport I use most frequently
Don't take a taxi!!!
Long wait in line to get a chit, then very expensive for the short drive into town.
Definition of "liquid"
Be aware of what is now considered 'liquid' and therefore subject to separate screening procedures and personal allowance when passing through security. This used to be my home airport, so I've flown to and from MAN on many occasions. This time however, clearing security at T1, a recorded message repeated saying that inhalers and deodorant are liquids. What I didn't realise is that even solid stick deodorant and powder inhalers are, apparently, "liquids". I challenged the staff on inspection and they told me there are three main English dictionaries: Oxford, Collins, and Manchester Airport. So even though literally nothing is actually liquid, they have this definition.
Saint Athan
Saint Athan is a great airfield to land at £12 per tone very good with GA aircraft and you handled by Horizon flight training and you get to look around there hangar

Cost now kill this so perfect destination
In 2016 I still paid approx 300,- Euro for landing, one week parking and handling, in June 2017 I was already charged 500 and in September they took over 900,- Euro!!! Each time with my Beech Duke and 2 person on board... In 2018 may be it’s now 1400 in June and 2200 in September, who knows. There is a monopoly situation which is used to rip off pilots as there is no alternate airport.
